May 25, 200619 yr It's this little Hot Dog place on the northside, well decorated. It used to be on roscoe(midpoint between belmont and addison) just east of Western, but it burned down and reopened, now it's at California and Roscoe... Anyways, this place has ridiculous hot dogs. The entire menu varies from your typical fare(ranging from a regular hot dog, polish sausage, or a corndog), to weirder s*** like "Smoked Alligator Sausage with Cajun Remoulade and Gorgonzola Cheese ". It's all delicious stuff and they name the sausages after celebrities, which brings me to my main point: last year during the playoffs they had one named "The Konerko" and it was a Ribeye Steak sausage with some weird green stuff(wasn't relish, don't remember exactly what it was) and it was one of the tastiest things I've ever had.

GOD DAMN does that sound delicious. I went to high school right down the street (Gordon Tech). I'm gonna have to check that place out one of these days. I love me some hot dogs.
May 25, 200619 yr My mother has. She had worked a shift around there, saw the place (kinda by accident was hungry so she checked it out) Loved the food, brought it home, we loved it. Case closed.

May 25, 200619 yr Boy does the title of this thread sound like the beginning of a bad joke or bad night of drinking...
May 25, 200619 yr QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 25, 2006 -> 10:12 AM) I've been there and its great. On Saturdays they have duck fat fries, very tasty. What the hell are those!?! They sound slightly disgusting.
May 25, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ May 25, 2006 -> 11:40 AM) What the hell are those!?! They sound slightly disgusting. I'm taking a wild leap and guessing they are fries cooked in duck fat. You want seemingly disgusting, try hanging out with my high college buddy's Polish family on keeshka or czarnina night. Keeshka is, of course, blood sausage, and czarnina is duck's blood soup. I had to say seemingly disgusting because, dammit, that stuff is actually pretty good once you get up the nerve to try it.

May 26, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 25, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) Nope, I've never heard of him. I think he graduated a year or so before you from there.
May 26, 200619 yr This place was featured on Check Please! on Channel 11 last year. You know Check Please, that show that they only tape 3 epsiodes all year and the panelists think that heading anywhere in the suburbs is like a trek out to Siberia.
